I spent the day with my good friend Sarah. She lives out on a farm in a distant area. It’s often fun to go and have a bit of a farm holiday with her. Autumn, summertime and spring out on the farm are naturally stunning, but I even think wintertime is attractive out there, with the grey sky and stark, leafless timber. Snow is a bonus, but sadly it’s quite all melted at this point. My preferred thing to do out there is take prolonged strolls out on the trails separating the fields. Regrettably, today’s stroll was entirely marred by the fact that her faithful dog has a bad case of diarrhea.

Now, Sarah has less to annoy her when it comes to doggy diarrhea than a lot of people. She walks totally on her own land, so she doesn’t even need to clear it up most of the time. Even so, I was somewhat disgusted, and she mentioned he’d been having it off and on for a while now, so I determined to look up dog diarrhea cures online. Thankfully, I knew about this website. I think it’s fairly new, but I’ve found it useful . They supposedly have real vets who write the content and give advice. It’s fairly simple to find what you need . They have separate sections on health issues for differentkinds of animals , like this one for canines. Regrettably, you sort of just have to search through an alphabetical list of subjects at that point. There’s not much further categorization.

Sarah’s dog has undoubtedly had bowel difficulties for far more than three weeks, so he qualified for the “chronic diarrhea” I linked to above. I saw that they outlined dietary problems as one of the feasible causes, and he doesn’t have any of the more alarming symptoms, so I enquired of Sarah if she’d switched his dog food just before he started getting sick. Yes, of course! So I sent her to a dog food analysis site to check out her brand. Turns out it’s recognised to give a lot of dogs diarrhea. Sigh. My payment for the beautiful strolls.
